I bought a new laptop the other day, and now i'm trying to dual boot Linux Mint with Windows 7, which is already installed.

I initially used UNetBootin to put the .iso onto a USB.
Rebooted with the USB, and chose the Live boot option.
The install seemed to be running fine judging by the rapid rate of text that was flowing past my screen.

It stopped at "[sdc] Attached SCSI removable disk" and refused to continue.

Do other distros work in this machine, and does the same USB drive work in other machines?

Linux mint was the first distro I tried to install. I tried to install fedora 16 later but it still gave a similar error. I read something about switchable graphics so I'm wondering if that could be the case, although I know nothing of the topic. I do know that my i7 can function as an integrated graphics card, but that's the extent of my knowledge.
